Beneath a Marble Sky  (English, Paperback, Shors John)

I was intrigued to know more about Taj Mahal and Jahanara after reading the Taj trilogy by Indu Sundaresan. After finishing Shadow Princess – the last part of Taj trilogy, I started looking out for more books on Jahanara and that’s when I stumbled on Beneath a Marble Sky.

The book is a combination of more fiction and few facts however it grips the reader to keep turning the pages to know what happens next.Though the book missed few important events such as Jahanara fire accident and her rule...

Short,crisp and perspicuous style of John Shors is very enjoyable.He has done intensive research as many accounts described demonstrate.It's quite commendable.
He mixes History,tradition and culture with his figment of imagination,and it becomes inseparable.The story does linger a bit,in the middle.Readers should read it as fiction and please don't do any research or 'wikipedia' on it or you will be utterly disappointed.
